And the reason we'd stayed at The Doctor's parents' house the previous night? We'd been invited to a wedding on April 3rd, and it was easier to travel from the airport to their house to the wedding then back home, than from the airport to home to the wedding then home again. But it did still mean I spent about 7 1/2 hours driving on that day....

The wedding was in Wales so we had lots of Welsh food to eat at the reception, including Welsh goat's cheese, Welsh lamb, and mini Welsh cakes with the coffee:

Just caught up on your last few posts...how lovely to see a full photo of you AND The Doctor together!! Looks like you had a great holiday & thanks for sharing all of that info & fab photo's...I feel like I came along with you!!

Hope the wedding went well...I'm with helene..welsh cakes.. yum...Lava bread..yuk!!!

Yum... Welsh cakes! My friend's mother used to make them. She had the most surprising way of measuring her ingredients - a handful of this, a spoonful of that - but they were always delicious! Deb, Welsh Cakes are a kind of drop scone / cake thing. They're not like English Muffins, as there is no yeast in the dough. They're made of a kind-of batter really and cooked on a griddle. They are super-yummy.

...is what I speak. It describes what I actually say (nonsense, mostly) and how I say it (ie my accent, which is a mixture of all sorts - a bit of North of England, a bit of Irish, a bit of South West England, a lot of just me!) The word comes from my name, Mel, and the fact that I'm one-quarter Welsh. But there's not actually any Welsh in my accent. Go figure...
